Application filed March 28, 1885.

To @ZZ whom it mayl concern: f Beit known that I, JOHN HARTMAN, Jr., a

and county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have inventeda new and useful Sash Fastener or Holder; and I do hereby declare and exact vdescription thereof to enable others skilled in the art-to'make and use the said invention.

This invention relates to fastenings whereby thesliding sash of windows cangbe clampedl against the casing in which it works,reither tion, and has for its object the cheaper making of such clamps or fasteings, so .that they may ance of cutting the sash or casings, by reason of' the fastening being merely screwed tothe sash and guided and held by the attachingscrews.

The nature of this invention to effect these a sliding piece adapted to bear against the casing and having a slot and Vyoke formed therein, whereby it is guidedv jointly by a flanged collar on a cam or eccentric and a screw passing' for attaching the cam and another for a screw for guiding the slide are the only perforations Vor rcutting required for its application.

I will now proceed to particularly describe the mode of making and using the said invention, referring to the drawings annexed, in which-L n Figure 1 shows an elevation in perspective of a portion of a window frame and sash wit-h tached; Fig. 3, the slide detached in section; Fig. 4, the cam detached in front view; Fig. 5, thecam detached inl rear view, and Fig. 6 the The same letters of reference apply to the same parts in the several figures.

A represents the lside of a window frame (or casing; B, the side of a window-sash fitted to slide vertically therein; C, a slide having alip or ange, C', adapted to bear Lon the side A of so as toslide upon a screw, D 5' an opening, C, whose vertical sides C4 fit upon an eccentric,

E, and whosehorizontal sides 05 iit upon a l collar, E', concentric `with the hole E2, fittingk i' the screw F upon which the eccentric E turns;

anda flat surface-G6, parallel with theback surface, which `rests against and slides upon the sash and fits under a flange,E3, formed onl the eccentric E. Upon thek eccentric E are formed wings or handles E4, whereby the 4eccentric may be turned.

In applying this fastening toa windowls'ash the flat back of the slide G is placedagainst the sashB andthe lip-G pressed'against the.` i V A' side of the frame or casing Af' The screw D is then screwed through the slot G2 at about lthe center of its length into the sash B. The piece C being still held in the same position, these. centric Eis placed in the openingvCB, with its y ,greatest eccentricityeither upward or downward, and with the collar E', betweenthe sides C of the lopening O3, and the flange Esresting*A against the flat surface C of the slide C. The i screw F is then screwed through the hol'e'fin the eccentric E into the window-sash-B, and ,75

holds the lentire flxturein position. By turning the eccentric E on the screw. F by means x of the handles or wings Ef the'lip C 'off the slide'A C is pressed against or retracted vfrom the windowframe' or casing TA, according. to the direction'rin which the eccentric E is turned;v

I am aware that sliding .clamps operated by eccentrics and guided by ribs or tongues fitting, in grooves cutin windowsashes havebeen employed as sash-fasteners; also, that sash-fastfeners have been vmade wherein thesliding and one direction was without means of retracting it from the window-casing and depended upon.

contactrwith thel casing for guidance. Both' of.v

these areobj e`ctionable 5 the first because ofthe mutilationy of the sash required for its application, and the-second because of the -disiigurement ofthe casing or frame consequentjuponl the trailingof the clamp thereon duringl the sliding motionk of the sash. VNeither of these do I claim; also,.that sash-holders having slid-l ing bolts Vpassing through` and'jguijded by a stapleat one part of theirlength, andat another part by a slot through a portion-of re# f duced thickness, in'which'thepivotal screw'cf 10o A i the bolt-operating camtted, have beenmad'e,

these having less strength, fromlthe saine@v collar, E', concentric with the pivotal hole E2 of the eccentric E, and the flat surface Cs ts against a flange, E3, on the winged and flanged eccentric E, in combination with the said cct5 centric E, the whole constructed and arranged to be applied and operated as shown and de- JNo. HARTMAN, JR.
